Comment on Do You Use A Cpap Machine For Sleep Apnea? by jennifer

I hate my husband’s cpap. It causes me great anxiety and frustration watching him put it on at night. I wish the dr. had suggested other things first.
He has it set on 9, he had 30 episodes an hour…yes that is alot, but I still hate him having to use it…
Is there any hope of him not needing it if he begins to practice deep breathing exercises?
Exercises every day, loses weight?
He is not “with” me when he has it on. It is he and it.

I have looked every where for some one to say they hated their spouse wearing it… either I am really special or some are not telling the truth.

It has come between us, even though he and I have worked very hard to overcome my hatred of it. Now at least I can sleep thru the night with out waking to see if he has it on…the first couple nights I couldnt go back to sleep till he took it off.

I HATE MY HUSBAND USING THE CPAP!

Comment on Why Does My Cpap Machine Leak Water Into My Nose? by Inscrutable

I own a RemStar Plus CPAP machine with an M Series Heated Humidifier made by Respironic. The machine leaks water from the humidifier to the mask.

A Respironic representative that this can happen when the room temperature is too cold and the humidifier is set on high. The room temperature is around 66 degrees and the humidifier is set to the recommended level of 2 (range is 0-5) and water still leaks into the mask. This is very annoying – water from the mask then gets on your pillow.

In my opinion, this is a poor design and the water should not travel into the mask regardless of what the room temperature is or the setting on the humidifier.

Someone at http://www.cpaptalk.com can walk you through changing the pressure.

It is not rocket science and isn’t that hard. But you do need to know what your pressure requirements are. This machine is not data capapble so a sleep study should be done to determine the pressure requirements.

Umm if you have a brand new one theres a reason you have it right? I mean they only give cpap machines to people that are in serious need of them so why would you want to get rid of it? If you really do though talk to the hospital you go to, I’m sure they would be able to find someone to buy it as alot of people usually need them and they are rather expensive

Just had this problem. I called the company through which I purchased my machine and supplies and told them my problem. They immediately told me the setting and told me how to reset the air pressure. This has actually happened to me more than once. Good luck.
